There's fear behind these attacks
I am a male; thus I can’t speak on behalf of females- I offer this as just my perception:
I don’t post much; but I am passionately in favor of sites like AW; I love it…I find it very beautiful.. so I want to chime in on this..
Do send the emails; but take these attacks as a compliment. It reflects on the success that AW and similar sites have achieved. This is also due to fear due to a shift of power that’s happening right now that may threaten old paternalistic values.
It’s the fear that the young female is now claiming power; she’s becoming wickedly confident, she’s intelligent, aggressive and fearless and thinks of herself enough not to yield to or put up with these outdated values. The female is mighty in that she is now asserting herself and is beginning to roar so to speak and is making her mark.
This does refer to AW’s success. Despite their disapproval, the growth and Sydney expansion of AW is a humiliating loss for these attackers who may soon realize that not only are they doing porn (which they hate); but that the females in this female led site are doing porn their way; doing very well at it; empowering models self esteem one at a time; and are becoming too strong to be controlled.
..and continued success will only dishearten them, and take their will to fight out of them bit by bit.
Here is an excerpt from a poem the from the Vagina Monologues.
Three girls were suspended in the US for simply saying the word "vagina" in unison the last line during an open mic session at their school. This is just an example of how petty they can get. Though thats the reason that was given. Or was it really the context of the line that bragged: "I declare these streets, any streets my vagina's country" ? Who knows. But this is also an example of how strong willed, and fearless girls have become in refusing to omit this line from their speech or using a substitution for the word 'vagina'.
My short skirt, believe it or not has nothing to do with you. My short skirt is about discovering the power of my lower calves about cool autumn air traveling up my inner thighs about allowing everything I see or pass or feel to live inside. My short skirt is not proof that I am stupid or undecided or a malleable little girl. My short skirt is my defiance I will not let you make me afraid My short skirt is not showing off this is who I am before you made me cover it or tone it down. Get used to it. My short skirt is happiness I can feel myself on the ground. I am here. I am hot. My short skirt is a liberation flag in the women's army I declare these streets, any streets my vagina's country.
